COERCION in Ireland is digging it's own
grave. The best way to insure the repea,
OF a bad law is to enforce it peremptoriIy
and the sense OF injustice that will be
aroused by seeing the wrong in its applica-
ton will bring about it's repeal more swiftly
than sll the eloquence in the world com.
bined. The tiasco resulting from the ar
raignment Of Mayor Sullivan and Mr..
O'Brien under it made it ludicrous. The
Mitchelstown murders that resulted from
the next attempt to enforce it evoked the
horror ut all classes in the United Kingdom
and the civilized world in general, and the
Governments agents in the fatal effort to
suppress the meeting are under Indictment
for murder. Next the Woodford outrage
in which brutal violence was shown to
Sir Wilfred Blunt and his wife, and in which
the trial In progress can only result in
the Government reaping more blame
from all right-minded people for its harsh
ness and violation Of the rights of a free
people. An Irish editor is sentenced to two
months imprisonment at hard labor for
no worse offense than publishing reports of
suppressed League meetings. No wonder.
as Gladstone said at Leeds, that he was
of the anxiety he formerly felt in
regard to the length Of the struggle with !
the unionist Government. Such acts of
tyranny on the part of Salisbury
Ind his advisers can have only one result
the awakening of such a powerful feeling
indignation throughout the Kingdom
generally that the coercion law will have
10 be repealed, and it's advocates and
'gentsin enforcing it driven from power.

IT is fortunate for Mr.. Chamberlain that
when he comes to this country to take part
in the treaty for the adjustment of tho fish.
cries question he will have to deal with
Government representatives who will con.
slider only the questions OF right and wrong
involved in the subject under { ;scussion,
and to whom the antecedent utterances of
the representatives of the English Govern.
ment are matter of Indifference. Otherwise
he would have to be replaced by some one
a little more discreet in his remarks on thu
eve OF departure on a delicate mission con-
corning a large portion of the Inhabitants
OF the country to which be is sent. His
statement OF belief that Irish Americans
were ready to use every effort to prevent q

that they "would do all in their power
to mar his mission" ia a gratui-

citizens Of the United States. In

BE has been guilty Of an act of gross dis
courtesy, to say the least. If he placed
any credence in his W words, which
from their utter improperly at such a
time cannot be doubted, it shows him to
be a man OF far less statesmanship than he
gained a reputation for being the
possessor OF, since no diplomatic would
allow his convictions such open expression
in view of the injury it would do him
among the people of the country to which
he goes. 1t would have been far more
polite for him to have controlled his
innate prejudices and to have placated the
Irish Americans of the United States with
complimentary platitudes, even though it

TIE reported combination with the

As an Offset to the triple alliance of Ger

guaranteed by the principal European
powers, otherwise she would be q French

The Pope sent an envoy to Ireland to
inquire into the situation there, with q
view to endea voring to restore peace in
that distracted country. The envoy re-
turned recently, and cannot have met with
much success, as he is reported to be still
in search of data which may serve as q
basis of mediation which the Pope is anx-
GUS TO Offer" The Irish chiefly desire
home rule just at present, and if the Pope
can mediate with the English Government
with that end in view, they will accept his
Intervention with thanks. Anything short
If this it would be useless to offer them.
And with the powerful aid and co-opera-
ton OF Gladstone and the Liberal party, it
looks as il they don't need any mediation.

lar order OF things. It may be a little
way off yet, but when the Liberals return
to power they are bound to settle the Irish
question in some effectual way, and home
rule will be the outcome.

As EXPECTED. Prince Victor Napoleon,
the son Of Ploa.Plon. in whom centre tho
hopes Of the Bonapartists, has published
a counter-manifesto to that which the
Count of Paris issued some weeks ago. 1t
shows that the young man has been 'nur-
tured in the traditions of hi.
family since he repeats with the
JUNCTION OF a Delphic oracle the Ma
poleon article Of faith that q
Napoleonic government is the only strong
democracy that France can possibly OBJ
tain. The emptiness OF this fallacy, which
was exposed when the Third Empire col
'apsed and all it's rottenness and sham
came to light. is surely Toe patent for the
most gullibIe Frenchman to be deceived by

A Brave LADY,.

About 4:45 last evening a man walked
into Mr.. Creighton's house, on Copper
street, and locked the door after him. Mrs.
Creighton saw him coming in and locked
the door between the front room and the
one she was occupying. and then ran out
with her baby and pocketbook and left
them with a neigabur. She then ran back
to her house, seized a gun, and opening the
door she had locked, pointed the gun at the
intruder and asked him his business. He
said he had none. Mrs. Creighton, keeping
him covered with the gun, threatened to
kill him if he didn't leave Immediately. He
said: "Oh, I will 60; I Will CO." and he
went. He o a brown canvass coat and
llght-colored SLOUGH hat. Inc had the ap-
p%earance OF a laboring man. Mr.. Creighton
is Justly proud of his wife's courage, but al |
most regrets that she didn't become no
nervous as to pull the trigger. It seems the
police have still some work to do to rid the
city Of the sc%oundrels who are terrorizipp

IDAHO.

Sentiment among the Northern Idahoans
does not seem to be &c harmoniously unan-
imous in favor of annexation to Wash
ington Territory az we have been i'm
pressed by the Washington Territory
papers. The Wardner News protests
strongly against it and can see no benefit
to be derived from the change. 1t asserts
that the people OF the Panhandle are
largely against it and cites the fact that
only eighteen votes were cast for anrexa-
ton in the Wardner precinct at the last
election when the question was submitted.
It contends that the Panhandle people
have never derived any benefit from
Spokane or Washington, since 1.-The ad-
vancement of our country and the develop
ment of our mines are entirely due to the
t~ireless efforts and labors OF the old-tjmers
who have stood by the country faithfully
from the start" Montana, Oregon, Mime
sofa m other places have furnished
capital and energy to develop the resources
OF the Panhandle, hut zone has come from
Washington. According to the News.
Wardner is as good a trading point az
Spokane, and possesses as well stocked
business houses. Their retail dealers buy
their stocks in Portland or San Francisco
or the East and can furnish just as
good az article as the Spokane mer-
chant. The News makes it's most
effective argument against the division OF
Idaho when it says that it's admission to
the sisterhood Of States 'shou|d be well |
coined by every Western State for the ad-
ditional strength her representation at the
National Capital would give to the advo-
Gates If silver" The Territory is increas-
ing in wealth and population, and in a
short time, If the present advance is main
tanned, will be entitled to admission as a
State. The great interest of the Terrific
ries is the silver question. The gold bugs
of the East have depressed the silver
mining industry to IN uncomfortable de-
gree. Until the silver interest has an equal
representation in the National Legislature
discrimination is likely to prevail. II
therefore be against the best inter-
ests OF the West generally 10 see such a
OF our sister Territory as
would postpone her chance of admission
to the Union indefinitely, and deprive the

ENGLAND and France have come to an
understanding in regard to the Suez Canal.
Egypt is to maintain the neutrality OF the
canal, and if unable to preserve it, she can
call on the ~signatory powers to come to
her assistance. The convention providing
for this neutrality was signed by the prin-
cipal European powers yesterday. 1t is, in
short, guaranteed, rs well as treaty provi-
sions can do SO. that the canal shall be
preserved as a highway for the ships Of all
nations W thin which no act Of hostility
shall be permitted. This in no way affects
it's control by it's present owners. whose
possession is undisturbed. THE board OF
management is ia French hands, but the
majority of the shares are held in England.
Being in Egyptian territory, the Khediye's
authority over it is u~nimpaired and this
is now strengthened by concert OF action OF
the E uropean powers in the treaty signed.
